“From Another World to Ours” Sermon Series

The subtitle to “From Another World to Ours” sermon series is “Encourage Your People to Share Christmas GOOD NEWS with those who’ve come ‘From Another World to Ours.’” It is a series uniquely created to encourage your congregation to use the Christmas season to reach across cultural boundaries with the Gospel of Christ.

There have been times when our culture has been described as “distinctly American.” Somehow, along with that, many Christians have bought into the mistaken concept that the Gospel is also distinctly American. That kind of thinking will confine us to our own personal “Jerusalem,” as a result of which, we become ineffective in carrying out God’s intended plan to go beyond our cultural comfort zones.

The growth in cultural diversity in America means that you don’t have to become a missionary and travel to a foreign country in order to reach other ethnic groups. They are coming to us, just as the wise men came from a far country to Jerusalem and then on to Nazareth. By following this five-week series, you will be able to help open your congregation’s eyes to the pressing need to recognize those of other cultures who have come to live among us, as ones who need to be shown the Way to eternal life, Jesus Christ.

They should be able to recognize that the Christmas season opens the door to reach out to persons of other ethnic groups, whose progenitor, nonetheless, is the same Adam as ours. They, therefore, stand in need of salvation from the sin-generated results of his disobedience. The Way is not through Buddha, Mohammed, or the Pope. Jesus Christ is the only Way to God, and believers are the only ones who can point others to the Way. But they will not accept Christ into their lives, if we do not first accept them into ours.

Use this series to reawaken your people to the great opportunity of the season and the great responsibility of believers to seize that opportunity to share Christ with others.
